In Japanese, the word empirical corresponds to JISSHOU-TEKI and KEIKEN-TEKI, those have different nuance.

ā€˜JISSHOU-TEKIā€™ refers to a more objective, data-driven approach, while ā€˜KEIKEN-TEKIā€™ denotes a more subjective approach based on personal experience. Although these two often overlap, there is a nuanced difference between them.
